Primary season isn't even over and I'm already tired of the upcoming elections. American politics are really just a big, steaming pile of sick right now, with both the Republican and Democratic parties screwed up beyond all repair. Plus we've got the Tea Party which is just the Republican version of the Island of Misfit Toys.

So, have a comic where candidates vie for the office of Princess.

Just like in the game "Aliens vs. Predator vs. Punching Yourself In The Neck," whoever wins, we lose.

as always luna's adorable but Id vote derpy.reminds me of hte mess in my country with the freaking 3 parites who are usesless and the new party whihc is a tad extreme and bound to wreck the country like the last 3 yet everyone FLOCKS to the new guys for change.u get a muffin if you guess which part of the world this is happening.

Averted a depression - Yeah, the unemployment rate stayed at 9% for the longest time, but with the Republican idea to keep away from bailing out other companies, this could have easily become a depression if John McCain won.

Sparked a recovery - Well, the unemployment rate is now at about 7.9%.

Bailed out Detroit - This may seem like a bad decision, but if he didn't do that, Chrysler and GM would have gone out of business which would have triggered a parts manufacturer collapse which likely would have taken Ford under as well leaving millions more unemployed.

Pushed through Healthcare Reform - Maybe not as much as we hoped, but it's still a big deal.

Legalized Stem Cell Research - This could cure so many diseases.

Got us out of Iraq and Afghanistan responsibly - Granted Afghanistan took more time than it should have, but it's still a good thing.

Perhaps the fact that he promised so much in the 2008 election is why we look at Barack Obama as a disappointment. Politifact.com gathered 508 promises that Obama made. He has kept 217 of them, while he broke 112 of them (106 were compromises). [link]

Really for his first term, the Republicans were just blocking everything he did, then on election day, blaming it on him. There are two signs of hope though. One is that Dad said that the New Right movement, which came to prominence in the 80's with Ronald Regan, peaked in 2010. He feels like they've alienated much of their outside support. The second sign is the fact that Obama can no longer get elected president. Therefore, Republicans have no point in opposing everything he does.

Ever since the event of The Canterlot Wedding, Celestia has declared War on Emotion-feeding and now changelings all around Equestria are facing an increase of hostility towards them. "Not all of us want to suck your emotions dry, we mostly practice moderation and we care for our food sources. Chrysalis was an extremist and now her actions has made us all look like villains" said Cocoon, the leader of a changeling community in Canterlot. A long time resident and carriage puller Thorax has this to say "I have lived in Equestria for many years. When I first immigrated it wasn't this bad but now even my friends start to distrust me". Even first generation equestrian changelings are no exception to this treatment. Pupa, a recently adult changeling, is struggling with discrimination. "I'm an Equestrian! I think it's unfair!".

Equestria really is only a free state once every four years,and they make such a use of their freedom that they deserve to lose it the rest of the time.Glad no real life nations have a populace like that.

Awwwww! Thank you! I felt a bit bad, this comic seemed to offend quite a few people from all sides of the political spectrum. I think it's a sign of real problems when we can't even laugh at ourselves. But I'm so happy to hear you liked it! Thank you a million!
